Chapter 1703 Make a Circle

To the east of Mexico is the Gulf of Mexico, which is a calm and peaceful bay surrounded by the United States to the north, the Florida peninsula to the east, and the peninsula of Mexico to the south. The two peninsulas almost enclose the harbor. Get up and leave the Yucatan Strait.

And on the sea passage in the middle, it happens to be blocked by the islands of Cuba and the Bahamas, that is to say, there are islands all around!

Under this circumstance, it is quite difficult for a large number of German landing ships to successfully land in Mexico through the seas where the islands are densely populated.

It can be discovered from a distance. Even if the Americans do not respond at first, they will respond immediately in the follow-up. The deployment of the army will take time, and the aviation will be fast, and it is easy to block the route.

You must know that conquering the United States requires millions of troops. Even in the early stage, at least more than 500,000 troops must be delivered. The ammunition supply of these troops, etc., the consumption is astronomical. Therefore, cargo ships need to go back and forth, constantly transporting them.

Now, this route is easily blocked, which means that even if the landing can be completed in the early stage, it will face the risk of failure due to poor supply in the later stage.

As the first general to follow Cyric, who single-handedly led the reform of the army, and created the new style of blitzkrieg, Guderian, the father of blitzkrieg, his worries are not unreasonable.

Now, Guderian has spoken out about his worries.

Hearing everyone nodding frequently, if you go to Mexico by sea, it seems that there are these risks, and some of them will not work. Looking at the dense islands in the sea, many people are strange.

Impossible, such an obvious question, how could the head of Cyric not see it?

Cyric also nodded.

When I chose Mexico as a springboard, I already noticed this problem. Landing on the east coast of Mexico is quite cumbersome and not conducive to concealment. However, who stipulated that it must be landed from the east coast of Mexico?

Just turn your eyes and look at the west coast of Mexico, which is near the Pacific Ocean. There, it is extremely empty and unobstructed!

Now, everyone present is the highest level of the empire, and they already know the level of their next plan. Now that they know that Mexico has complied, the next step can be announced.

"We went to the South Atlantic, first assembled in Argentina, and then, from Argentina, turned around into the Pacific Ocean, and landed in the western part of Mexico." Cyric's words immediately made everyone present froze.

Landing from eastern Mexico is definitely not realistic. The subsequent supplies were cut off, and the troops who landed early were the turtles in the urn.

On the contrary, the line formulated by President Cyric has great reality.

In the eyes of the Americans, Germany mainly intends to land from Canada, so the focus will be on the North Atlantic, while Germany, a large number of landing ships and transport ships, have all gone to the South Atlantic. In this way, the Americans do not know anything.

Don't look at the mighty fleet, put it in the ocean, that's just a little bit, it's impossible to detect it at all, it will be a problem in future generations, let alone now.

Argentina, Germany's closest South American partner, has long made various commitments, waiting for Germany's needs.

Argentina will become a temporary stop point for the fleet, a supply point, and even various strategic materials can be stored in Argentina in advance.

Even if the US intelligence system pays attention, it will not care. After all, if it is pushed through from Argentina, South America will be able to fight for a few months, and the United States will have sufficient time to respond.

As a result, German troops appeared in Mexico.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Guderian's face. In this case, the landing of one's own side would be assured. The strength of the American navy would not even be able to grab control of the Atlantic Ocean, let alone slip away in South America. circled.

The poor Americans cost a lot of money to build defense projects along the Atlantic coast, which were ultimately in vain.

Führer Cyric was the wisest and planned everything.

"Do you have any comments on my plan?" Cyric asked.

This is a sincere inquiry. In the past, every plan that Cyric made was confirmed to be absolutely correct. Unconsciously, Cyric had become a god-like existence.

In the past, Cyric had known history to refer to, but now, there is no reference, and every step must be considered carefully.

The others didn't speak, not even Scherner had an opinion. When Cyric's eyes fell on Reinhardt, Reinhardt added a few words.

"We should contact local merchants now to store food and other materials in large quantities and ship them from Europe, rather than buying them locally," Reinhardt said.

Argentina has a lot of Germans, and quite a few of them are businessmen. It's too easy to contact them.

Cyric nodded.

"Also, in the south of Argentina, the Drake Passage, the natural environment is quite harsh, and we must be mentally prepared."

If you want to travel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, you have to go through the Panama Canal, or you can only go through this strait. The passage indicated by Cyric is to go around here.

The Drake Passage is located between the southernmost tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, next to Chile and Argentina.

The strait is about 300 kilometers long from east to west and 970 kilometers wide from north to south. It is an important passage from all over the world to Antarctica. Due to the influence of polar cyclones, there are often strong winds and waves in the strait, and sometimes the wave height can reach 10-20 meters. Icebergs that slide down from Antarctica also often float in the strait, making navigation difficult.

It can be said that the sailing conditions are harsh. If we wait until February, which happens to be the summer in the southern hemisphere, there will be less floating ice there. Now, those floating ice are a test for passing ships.

"Yeah, we can't be too anxious about this matter, we must be fully prepared." Cyric said: "From now on, make a detailed plan!"

Wanting to launch a national war, the plan even started a few years ago, and now, Germany has been waiting for Mexico's response. Since Mexico has agreed, it will focus on Mexico and plan in detail.

"Code name, ice flows." Cyric looked at the large-scale world map and said again.
